Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $14,644

GRAFENBERG (1) scored at his most recent outing by 12 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. CRYPTO CASH (4) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, failing to live up to market expectations. Form prior to that was a better guide to his ability, including a very close fourth over 1609m at this track two starts ago. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. NOTOUTOFTHEWOODS (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. MCMIKENMIKE (5) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 4.5 m (Fr2) at this track (1:56.20) beating Northern Sultan in TRK<71 on June 5 at $6.80. Going well enough to play a big role again.
